Which of the following connective tissues consists of cells known as chondrocytes:
A
Myocardium
B
Cartilage
C
Bone
D
Periosteum
Tap any option to test your recall and reveal the step-by-step Propolis autopsy.

Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Cartilage
Concept:

Cell nomenclature based on tissue type.

Formula:

N/A (Conceptual)

Solution:

  • The biological prefix chondro- universally refers to cartilage.


  • Therefore, chondrocytes are specifically the mature, maintaining cells embedded in the lacunae of cartilage tissue.


Why other options are incorrect:

Bone cells are called osteocytes/osteoblasts. Myocardium cells are cardiomyocytes. The periosteum is a fibrous membrane.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
